[Verse]
Cm Dm7-5 G7
Melancholy mood forever haunts me
Cm
Steals upon me in the night
Dm7-5 G7
Forever taunts me
C
Oh, what a lonely soul am I
Dm7 G7
Stranded high and dry
Cm | Ab7 G7 |
By a melancholy mood
[Verse]
Cm Dm7-5 G7
Gone is every joy and inspiration
Cm
Tears are all I have to show
Dm7-5 G7
No consolation
C
All I can see is grief and gloom
Dm7 G7
Till the crack of doom
Cm | Ab7 G7 Cm |
Oh, melancholy mood
[Middle 8]
Fm
Deep in the night
Fm Bb7
I search for a trace
Ebmaj7 Ebmaj7
Of a lingering kiss, a warm embrace
Ab
But love is a whimsy
Ab
And as flimsy as lace
Am7-5 Ab7 G7
And my arms embrace an empty space
[Verse]
Cm Dm7-5 G7
Melancholy mood, why must you blind me
C
Pity me and break the chains
Dm7-5 G7
The chains that bind me
C
Won't you release me, set me free
Dm7
Bring him back to me
